Default crown molding question- long piece, cut it but joined area hasbig gap

KOS wrote the following:
Hi, i just installed some crown molding in a room very long piece
25-35 feet. I had to cut it in two pieces.. The smaller piece where I
cut it is like 2 feet... But when I join it, (like a puzzle piece)
there is a pretty big gap there. Quite obvious, even when I paint it
it will show, what should I do???


Fill it with Plaster or Joint compound, then carve it to match the molding.
